25 weeks
Well I'm 25 weeks today! I'm getting so excited. Only 15 weeks left. Somedays that seems like forever then other days it seems like just tomorrow he'll be here. I hate to complain because I'm so fortunate to be pregnant with a beautiful healthy little boy, but.....I'm starting to get back to that miserable stage. I've gained atleast 25lbs....which is bad enough so its making it hard to do things that used to be easy. I'm always tired, sore, and cranky. It takes so much just to go up and down the stairs, our laundry room is in the basement then our living area is on the main floor, and then our bedroom is upstairs. My husband does help out with laundry carrying it from the hampers to the laundry room then when its done he'll carry it back up stairs,...but he will not fold it. Folding clothes was a chore to begin with but now that my belly is in the way its so much harder. And shaving my legs or anything else for that matter....I cant even see "down there" by the time I'm done shaving I'm wore out. Another thing is our bed is against the wall and I love sleeping by the wall but its getting to hard to crawl across my husband. He did try sleeping by the wall one night but he didnt sleep hardly at all so I traded him back and I've just been dealing with it, but its become to much. He does move his legs 50 times a night when I get up to pee but that doesnt really help cause I still have to get from the wall to the edge and then back. So I've been telling him we have to do something...well nothings been done. So I had a little break down lastnight at about 3 in the morning. Me and my mom put up my Christmas tree lastnight so needless so say I was exhusted and I could hardly walk because I was so sore. So when I got up to pee and had to crawl across him I started yelling, probably because I was tired (because I dont sleep hardly at all anymore being up every 2 or 3 hours to pee). I said I'm 6 months pregnant I shouldnt have to crawl across you everytime I have to pee its just too hard. Well he finally said he will move the bed tonight. I told him if he didnt I'm sleeping on the couch. I feel like I'm being selfish or stubborn but I just cant do it anymore its too hard. This really does sound awful...I dont think I'm that miserable, I think I'm just tired and needing to get some of it off my chest. Im so thankful for being pregnant and I cant wait to finally meet my son. Hes a blessing and miracle that I though I would never get, after 4 losses I was ready to give up (atleast for awhile) I couldnt take anymore loss. I thank God everyday that my doctor talked us into keep trying and we didnt stop and now I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy. I guess no one ever said being pregnant is easy. Just because I want this so bad and I'm so greatful for him doesnt mean it will be easy or I shouldnt complain, but I just feel so bad for complaining when alot of people would do anything to be in my shoes. Thanks for letting me complain and just know I am very thankful for my son and I thank God everyday for sending him to me. Hugs Monica.

I hope the bed gets moved tonight, I could see how that would be close to impossible in your pregnant state, not to mention ANNOYING!!! I can\'t believe you are so far along, it\'s truly amazing. Prengnancy is truly a miracle. I\'m so happy for you.
Have you tried scooting to the end of the bed to get out. Hopefully he will move it out tonite and it won\'t be a problem... You can complain anytime you want. Hang in there. Alittle less than 4 months and your son will be here.
I\'m sorry. I can see how the bed situation could be frustrating. Hopefully, you can convince him to move it tonight. Husbands can be annoying sometimes. Mine expects me get down on the floor and water our christmas tree every day. It\'s hard for me to get up off the couch, much less the floor. But, you gotta love them. Just hang in there. Your little boy will be here before you know it.
Tell him \"move it OR HE\'S SLEEPING ON THE COUCH!!!\" You know I\'m a hard ass w/these men (sorry) but that\'s just stupid on his part not to mention totally thoughtless....HUGS
I have also recently discovered that shaving is a huge hurdle. My husband laughs at me because I am out of breath by the time I am done. I feel for you because I know exactly what that feels like. BIG HUGS!!!
The sleeping situation must be incredibly frustrating! You are absolutely entitled to the side of the bed closer to the bathroom - after all, the bigger you get the harder (and more dangerous) it will be to climb over your husband. I think men have a hard time understanding the physical difficulties of pregnancy. Just remember to put yourself and the baby first.
Don\'t feel bad complaining. Lol u wait til you are 30 some weeks you will be so much more miserable than u are now. I know how it feels though. U don\'t want to complain because it is such a blessing. We understand though. I can\'t wait til your little one is out and home with u. When I say get all the sleep u can I mean get all the sleep u can. The first couple of weeks are so hard with the lack of sleep. I remember it like it was yesterday. Crying from lack of sleep. Enjoy it though, it goes by so quickly u turn your head and they are having their first birthday.((hugs)) P.s I hope hubby moved the bed for you. That does sound very frustrating.
Girl..I am with you on the laundry thing..I never hated doing it until it was almost painful to do it..i have a child size chair that is perfect height for taking it out of the washer and putting it in the dryer. Thanks for the hug..hug back to you..
I agree..he moves it or HE GETS THE COUCH!! I made my DH sleep in the spare room last week bc he smelled like paint (he painted all afternoon and it was making me sick). Baby is going to be here soon :)!!!!
